With the East Coast Music Week vastly approaching next month, in St. John's, Newfoundland, I thought I'd give these guys a plug, as they'll be playing at the festival between April 9th to the 11th. And that's reason enough to go check out In-Flight Safety, especially if you're in the area during the festival, as… Read More

I've spent the past few months completing some major renovations to my home, and during that stretch have had the pleasure of listening to some super, fantastic music.
